The Transmigrated Farm Girl Has a Cheat Code

Chapter 38 Selling Counterfeit Goods

That day, Lin Yan and Li Xiaocao came to sell dried fruit again in a mule cart. Li Xiaocao had been driving Uncle Li's donkey cart since she was a child, and she could drive the cart at a young age. Otherwise, relying on Lin Yan would not have been very reliable.

The two arrived at their spot and began hawking their wares as usual.

"Lin Yan, what are you doing here!" a startled cry rang out.

Lin Yan looked up and saw that it was Lin He Rui.

These days, Lin Herui comes to the county to see Fu Bo every day. When Fu Bo goes to the cloth shop to check the accounts, she goes to buy cloth. When she rests at Jufulou, she sits there so much that the waiter wants to kick her out.

The waiter was speechless. They had been sitting there for ages without ordering anything, just taking up their seats for nothing.

In short, they went to great lengths to bump into Fu Bo in various places, trying to make their presence known, which made Fu Bo not want to go out for the past two days.

Today, on her way to Jufulou, she heard a familiar voice and realized it was Lin Yan and Li Xiaocao.

"How could it be you?! What bad luck!" Li Xiaocao felt annoyed whenever she saw the Lin family, especially Lin Herui.

"I should be asking you what you're doing here!" Lin Herui leaned closer to look at the things Lin Yan and the others were selling. "Dried fruit?"

Lin Herui recalled what Li Siyao had said last time and sneered, "You guys didn't hear that dried fruit is selling well lately, so you're starting to copy it? This isn't something anyone can just sell! If it tastes too bad, wouldn't everyone be wasting their money!"

She glanced down at the copper coins in Li Xiaocao's hand, which filled the bottom of the basket, and couldn't help but feel envious. "Let me tell you, don't buy her dried fruit. It's all fake. How could homemade dried fruit taste good!"

Seeing that no one around her was paying attention to her and was giving her strange looks, she felt a little awkward. "Why are you all looking at me?! I'm just trying to help you! Don't let her fool you!"

When Lin Herui saw Lin Yan, she saw Lin Yan with her arms crossed and looking at her with a mocking gaze, showing no intention of explaining. On the contrary, Li Xiaocao had a fiery temper and looked like she was about to hit someone.

"What is she trying to lie to us about? We've eaten this so many times!"

"Exactly, where did this fake come from? They're the only ones selling this!"

"Could it be that they're jealous of Lin's business and are deliberately causing trouble?"

"I think it looks like it!"

"Hurry up! Don't bother us while we're buying dried fruit, I haven't had any for days."

"I have to get one this time! I was too late last time, and they were all sold out!"

"Hey! Are you all stupid! Don't push me, ouch!" Lin Herui was pushed out of the crowd and could only shout from the outside.

But seeing that everyone was still surrounding Lin Yan, and some were even eating as they walked after buying their fruit, Lin He Rui looked at the dried fruit in his bag and realized that it was indeed the same as the fruit she had eaten at Ju Fu Lou last time.

Li Siyao also said that it was sold by people from a village.

"Could it really be her!" Lin Herui was shocked. Recently, many people in the county had been eating dried fruit. She had seen Fu Bo carrying a bag of it last time. It was selling so well now; how much money was she making? Lin Herui thought about the basket full of copper coins she had just seen, and her heart ached.

"No, they made money and didn't even tell us! I have to tell my parents!" Lin Herui didn't even have time to look for Fu Bo anymore and hurriedly headed home.

Lin Yan was too busy to pay attention to Lin He Rui. She and Li Xiao Cao were only focused on collecting money. Li Xiao Cao had gone from being shocked by the money at the beginning to being numb to it now.

After the two finished their work, it was already noon. Lin Yan thought that she and Li Xiaocao would have lunch in the county before going back, so they went to Jufulou.

The two ordered a few dishes from the same waiter and ate some snacks while waiting for the food to be served.

"This almond shortbread is delicious!" Lin Yan's eyes lit up as she ate it, thinking that she could buy some to take home later.

“Indeed, it’s their brand after all!” Li Xiaocao nodded. “But isn’t it too extravagant for us to eat here?”

"What's the big deal? We've made quite a bit of money. Are we so desperate that we can't even afford a meal?" Lin Yan had developed a "enjoy what you have" mentality during the apocalypse and was very generous when it came to spending money.

"Your cooking is delicious too! I've never eaten anything so good! Especially the boiled fish! Mmm~" Like Lin Yan, Li Xiaocao fell in love with spicy food as soon as she ate it, and her mouth watered just thinking about it.

"I'll make it for you tonight!" Lin Yan blinked!

"Good!"

"Ladies, here's your food!" The waiter brought the dishes to the table, and the two began to eat.

The shopkeeper, who was busy calculating accounts, perked up his ears when he heard someone say that the food was good. After all, he had learned his lesson from Lin He Rui's experience, and now when he heard someone praising a girl, his gossipy soul was burning brightly.

But when she looked up and saw Li Xiaocao, who was only twelve or thirteen years old, she exclaimed, "She's too young! No way!" Then she saw the person opposite her and realized it was a misunderstanding. "Miss Lin! You're here to eat?"

"Manager Zeng, we'll grab some lunch after we sell our dried fruit! You go ahead with your business, don't worry about us!" Lin Yan stood up to greet them.

"Shopkeeper, who is this?" The waiter stood to the side, puzzled. Why was the shopkeeper being so polite to a young girl like her?

"This is the young master's friend! She sells this rocking chair and the dried fruit!"

"I see." The waiter nodded.

Lin Yan and the other person were eating.

The shopkeeper saw Fu Bo walk in through the door and said, "Young Master, you've arrived!"

Fu Bo nodded and was about to go over when he saw the shopkeeper wink at him, signaling him to look over there. He turned around and saw Lin Yan sitting there eating.

Her eyes lit up, and she hurried over, "Lin Yan! You're here!"

Fu Bo plopped down on the stool, startling Li Xiaocao, who was drinking soup, and she burned her tongue. "Hey! What are you doing!"

"Hehe! Sorry!" Fu Bo scratched his head and quickly apologized.

"Hmph!" Li Xiaocao rolled her eyes at him.

"Lin Yan, let me tell you, your aunt has been bothering me a lot lately!" Fu Bo quickly complained as if he had seen a relative.

"What?!" Lin Yan didn't realize who he was talking about for a moment. Li Xiaocao's ears perked up and her eyes widened.

"It's that Lin He Rui, isn't it? Last time at your house, I used her to threaten that old lady!"

"I don't know where she found out about my identity this time, but she's not afraid of me anymore. I see her everywhere I go lately! It's driving me crazy!" Fu Bo said, his brows drooping and his whole body exhausted.

"Pfft! Hahahaha!" Lin Yan and Li Xiaocao burst into laughter after hearing this.

"You're still laughing! What am I supposed to do?" Fu Bo glared at them both.

"You're asking me what to do? Aren't you a thug? Are you scared already? Where did all that bullying and tyrannical attitude you used to have go?" Lin Yan found it somewhat amusing.

Fu Bo's lips twitched as he listened, and he muttered under his breath, "How can anyone bully men and oppress women..."

"what?!"

"It's nothing! It's just that she's your relative, so I didn't want to embarrass her too much!" Fu Bo said awkwardly.

The shopkeeper finally understood why the young master had been avoiding her; it turned out that the oddball from that day was a relative of Miss Lin. The difference in their personalities was just too great.
